12/3/2022 0 Comments Gran turismo 2![]() Gran Turismo 4 was released only three years after GT3, but it made huge strides to improve upon its predecessor. All of these titles are at least 9 out of 10 titles, there’s no question about it. This is where the list gets difficult to order, as Gran Turismo 1-4 are all true greats of racing games. Sport was arguably the worst GT when it released, but consistent updates by Polyphony have meant that GT Sport has climbed the rankings to fifth on our list. It was good to see more modern cars too, as the car models from the PS2 had finally been ditched. However, the VR support was cutting edge, and both the sound and graphics were markedly improved. Track and car selection were at their lowest since GT3 and the penalty system is problematic to say the least. The good was that it’s very fun and refreshing, but the bad was that the single player mode suffered. GT Sport changed gears to an online approach, something that was bittersweet. A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION: GT Sport brought the series’ fun factor To date, this is the most recent GT title and the only one on PS4. GT5 and GT6 were below par by Polyphony’s very high standards, but GT Sport marked a shift in emphasis and rejuvenated the GT series. Multiplayer (when it worked) was impressive, as was the handling model. The biggest thing than GT5 brought to the table was arguably its track creator, something that many series have failed to replicate since. It was impressive how many cars and how many circuits were included in GT5, but Polyphony bit off way more than they could chew. However, if you were in one of the 850 Standard Cars, you were driving GT4 on PS3. If you were driving one of the game’s 275 Premium Cars, nothing else in racing could match it. CRACKS BEGINNING TO SHOW: GT5 started the downward spiral of the series Like GT6, this is far from a bad game, but it felt like a remastered GT4. GT5 was the first Gran Turismo on PS3 and also the first where Forza Motorsport overtook the series. Gran Turismo 5’s long and troubled development had us worried at the time and parallels can already be drawn between it and GT7 in this regard. This is a long way from a bad game, though, but it doesn’t cater to every crowd. This was a huge missed opportunity for Polyphony, and it reflected in the sales, being the worst-performing GT commercially. The graphics were cutting-edge on PS3, but the PS4 was released months earlier and we never got an upgrade to the new system.
